(Patented  April  23,  1907.) 


JRCHITECTS  and  engineers  have  long  realized  the  neces- 
sity of  using  waterproofing  material  in  concrete,  but 
have  hesitated  to  include  it  in  their  specifications,  for 
the  reason  that  contractors  might  not  take  the  very 
necessary  precaution  to  mix  the  waterproofing  material 
carefully  and  in  correct  proportion  with  the  cement  and  concrete.  Gen- 
erally speaking,  all  waterproofing  requires  to  be  mixed  in  a scientific 
manner  and  in  correct  proportions.  This  necessitates  not  only  care  and 
skill,  but  additional  cost  and  labor.  To  overcome  these  objections,  which 
appear  very  reasonable,  we  are  manufacturing  Medusa  Waterproofed 
White  Portland  Cement. 

Med  usa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  consists  of  Medusa 
Waterproofing  ground  with  our  White  Portland  Cement  in  the  process 
of  manufacture.  One  and  one-half  per  cent,  of  Waterproofing  is  added, 
which  is  equivalent  to  six  pounds  to  each  barrel  of  cement.  Our  Water- 
proofed Cement  is  finely  ground,  ninety-nine  per  cent,  passing  a hundred 
mesh  sieve,  thus  developing  the  highest  tensile  strength. 

As  we  are  the  only  manufacturers  of  both  Cement  and  Waterproof- 
ing, we  are  in  position  to  make  a high-grade  product  at  less  expense  than 
any  of  our  competitors. 

We  take  pleasure  in  assuring  our  many  customers,  to  whom  our 
Medusa  Gray  and  White  Portland  Cement  and  Waterproofing  have  so 
long  been  favorably  known,  that  our  Waterproofed  White  Cement  is  far 
superior  to  any  simple  mixture  of  cement  and  waterproofing,  and  we  have 
full  confidence  that  they  will  find  it  a most  valuable  high-class  building 
material.

ADVANTAGES 

^JkDUSA  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  is  the 
most  reliable  inexpensive  waterproofed  cement  manu- 
factured, and  renders  mortar  or  concrete  absolutely 
impervious  to  water,  preventing  the  slightest  penetra- 
tion of  moisture  or  dampness.  It  prevents  discoloration 
of  concrete  blocks  or  stucco  after  heavy  rains,  and  does 
not  affect  strength,  setting  or  hardening  qualities  of  concrete. 

Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  is  stainless  and  is 
guaranteed  to  pass  all  requirements  of  the  American  Society  for  Testing 
Materials  and  of  the  United  States  Government,  and  will  not  cake  or 
acquire  what  is  commonly  known  as  “pressure  pack”  on  storage  (which 
is  a common  fault  of  all  Portland  cement),  for  the  reason  that  Water- 
proofed Cement  will  not  absorb  moisture. 

This  cement  is  to  be  used  in  the  same  manner  as  ordinary  Portland, 
from  which  it  differs  in  no  respect  except  in  its  pure  white  color. 

Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  is  being  used  exten- 
sively in  stucco  or  exterior  plaster  as  it  prevents  efflorescence  and  hair- 
cracks,  and  also  prevents  the  corrosion  of  metal  lath  which  is  liable  to 
occur  if  the  cement  plaster  allows  moisture  to  penetrate. 

Concrete  blocks  are  now  being  used  in  the  construction  of  a great 
variety  of  buildings,  many  ot  which  are  dwellings  in  which  the  necessity 
of  waterproofing  is  very  apparent.  Concrete  blocks  faced  with  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  will  be  impervious  to  water  or 
moisture  and  permit  plastering  directly  on  the  blocks,  thus  saving  the 
expense  of  furring  and  lathing. 

Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  will  also  be  found 
invaluable  for  swimming  pools,  bath  rooms,  toilets,  hospitals,  churches, 
laundries,  tanks,  dairies,  artificial  stone,  etc.  Architects,  stone  setters 
and  terra  cotta  manufacturers  are  recommending  its  use  as  the  one  sure 
method  of  obtaining  satisfactory  and  permanent  results  in  stainless 
mortar  for  backing,  setting  and  pointing  marble,  granite,  terra  cotta, 
glazed  tile,  face  brick,  etc.

Stucco  may  be  applied  to  brick,  stone,  concrete  block,  hollow  tile  and 
monolithic  concrete  walls;  also  to  frame  structures. 

In  the  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  for 
stucco,  the  water  should  be  added  very  slowly,  and  the  mass  should  be 
turned  and  mixed  until  like  moist  garden  earth  or  the  consistency  of  a 
plastic  mortar,  similar  to  that  used  for  tamping  instead  of  pouring, 
which  gives  the  cement  time  to  hydrate  and  form  a gluey  substance. 

The  mix  should  be  agitated  and  stirred  as  used.  If  all  the  water  is 
added  at  once  or  nearly  so,  the  Waterproofing,  being  so  much  lighter 
than  the  cement  and  sand,  will  un-mix  and  come  to  the  top  and  float  off. 
However,  if  mixed  up  stiff  and  left  stand  for  a few  minutes  until  the 
cement  hydrates,  and  thinned  as  used,  it  will  stick  to  the  mass  very 
satisfactorily. 

Waterproofed  Cement  has  a tendency  to  throw  off  water  after  the 
final  set,  and  care  should  be  taken  to  keep  work  damp  for  at  least  one 
week  in  order  to  secure  perfect  crystallization. 

Conditions  must  determine  whether  one,  two  or  three  coat  work  is 
necessary.  If  the  wall  is  rough  and  uneven,  three  coats  should  be  used. 
To  obtain  waterproofed  results  and  a uniform  color  three  coats  are 
necessary  for  a slap-dash  finish,  the  second  and  third  coats  of  which  should 
consist  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  as  in  a finish 
of  this  kind  there  are  numerous  places  that  are  not  covered  by  the  third 
coat.  For  a stipple  finish  three  coats  are  also  recommended,  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  to  be  used  in  second  and  finish 
coats,  as  the  stippling  with  a whisk  broom  often  punctures  the  finish  coat. 

Plasterers’  hair  may  be  used  in  the  first  coat  for  stucco  work,  in  the 
proportion  of  one  pound  to  one  sack  of  cement. 

The  use  of  hydrated  lime  is  recommended,  to  the  extent  of  from 
10  per  cent,  to  15  per  cent,  of  the  weight  of  cement,  as  it  makes  the  mortar 
more  plastic  and  adhesive  and  work  easier  under  the  trowel,  and  assists  to 
a great  extent  in  preventing  hair-cracks.  The  cement  and  hydrated  lime 
should  first  be  thoroughly  mixed  in  dry  form;  then  the  aggregate  should 
be  added  and  mixed,  before  the  addition  of  water. 

Work  must  be  thoroughly  wetted  (with  clean  water)  to  prevent

absorption  of  water  from  the  fresh  mortar,  and  still  be  moist  before  the 
application  of  each  coat  to  insure  a perfect  bond.  The  finish  coat  of  stucco 
should  be  kept  moist  by  spraying  with  water,  for  at  least  a week,  and  pro- 
tected from  the  direct  rays  of  the  sun  or  warm  winds  by  means  of  a damp 
canvas  or  burlap,  frequently  sprinkled;  this  will  prevent  hair-cracks  and 
checking.  Excessive  troweling  should  also  be  avoided,  as  this  is  often  the 
cause  of  hair-cracks  on  flat  or  smooth  surfaces. 

The  plastering  should  be  started  at  the  top  of  a wall  and  carried 
downward.  Care  should  be  taken  to  make  the  stucco  work  continuous, 
that  is,  one  patch  of  plaster  must  not  be  allowed  to  dry  before  the  adjoin- 
ing space  is  covered.  If  it  is  impossible  to  work  the  full  width  of  the  wall 
at  one  time,  the  joint  should  be  at  some  natural  division  of  the  surface, 
such  as  a window  or  door.  If  this  precaution  is  not  observed,  cracks 
and  differences  of  color  are  likely  to  occur  in  the  finished  surface. 

Stucco  should  never  be  applied  when  the  temperature  is  below 
freezing. 

Only  a small  quantity  of  plaster  should  be  mixed  at  one  time  (not 
more  than  will  be  used  within  one  hour),  so  the  cement  does  not  have  an 
opportunity  to  set  before  being  used. 

One  barrel  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  (4  sacks 
of  94  pounds  net  each)  and  2 to  2l/i  parts  of  aggregate  will  cover  approxi- 
mately : 

Y<l  inch  thick — 8 J 2 square  yards 
inch  thick — 6 square  yards 
1 inch  thick — \x/i  square  yards 

In  the  following  specifications  all  proportions  stated  are  by  volume. 

Stucco  on  Metal  Lath 

Two  coat  work  is  all  that  is  necessary,  except  when  the  finish  coat 
is  to  be  a slap-dash  or  stipple,  then  three  coats  should  be  applied. 

FIRST  COAT: 

1 part  gray  Portland  cement 
2l/2  parts  clean,  sharp  sand 

This  coat  should  have  a minimum  thickness  over  the  lath  at  any  point 
of  not  less  than  bf  inch,  making  a total  thickness  of  from  Yi  to  % of  an  inch. 

The  plaster  must  be  forced  well  into  the  meshes  of  the  lath  so  as  to 
form  a good  key.  Do  not  trowel  the  plaster  too  much;  just  enough  to 
force  it  through  the  lath  and  to  bring  it  to  the  required  thickness,  entirely 
covering  the  lath.  While  the  first  coat  is  wet  it  should  be  scratched 
deeply  so  it  will  present  a rough  surface  to  bond  mechanically  with  the 
next  coat,  and  as  soon  as  the  first  coat  has  set  sufficiently  to  support

MEDUSA  WATERPROOFED  WHITE  PORTLAND  CEMENT 


Colored  Concrete 

Any  desired  color  can  be  produced  by  the  use  of  dry  mineral  colors 
with  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  making  possible 
permanently  artistic  and  brilliant  effects  not  heretofore  obtainable. 
Mix  the  coloring-matter  thoroughly  with  the  sand  till  a uniform  color 
results  and  then  mix  with  the  cement.  The  Association  of  American 
Portland  Cement  Manufacturers  in  their  “Cement  Stucco”  bulletin  refer 
to  this  subject  in  part  as  follows: 

“One  of  the  most  important  questions,  and  one  that  is  bound  to  arise 
whenever  the  use  of  coloring-matter  in  cement  is  contemplated,  is  that 
of  permanency.  Blacks  are  safe  colors,  as  a rule,  although  it  is  better  to 
avoid  experiments  with  cheap  blacks.  The  carbon  blacks  are  preferable 
to  lampblacks,  because  they  do  not  have  the  same  tendency  to  float  to 
the  top  during  mixing.  There  are  fewer  grades  of  carbon  blacks  and  there 
is,  therefore,  less  likelihood  of  getting  a worthless  color.  Ultramarine 
blue,  if  of  good  quality,  will  hold  its  color  for  a number  of  years,  and  gen- 
erally possesses  the  virtue  of  fading  out  evenly,  when  it  does  finally  lose 
its  color.  It  cannot  be  classed  as  a permanent  color,  as  is  black,  brown 
or  ochre.

Green  is  an  unsatisfactory  color  to  experiment  with.  Commercially, 
there  is  no  green  cement  color  on  the  market  that  will  not  fade  when 
mixed  with  cement  and  exposed  to  light  and  weather. 

Reds  and  browns  need  little  comment  in  addition  to  the  explanation

and  quality.  French  ochre,  if  genuine,  is  safe  to  use,  and  with  it  most 
attractive  colonial  yellow  and  buff  tones  can  be  secured.  There  are  a 
number  of  good  yellow  ochres  manufactured  in  this  country,  but  natur- 
ally they  are  not  of  the  cheapest  variety.  It  is  always  safe  to  know  the 
name  of  the  manufacturer,  and  also  whether  or  not  the  color  was  specially 
designed  for  coloring  cement.” 


Finish 

SMOOTH  FINISH — A smooth  finish  can  be  secured  by  bringing  the 
final  coat  to  an  even  surface  with  a steel  trowel,  with  as  little  rubbing 
as  possible. 

STIPPLED — After  a smooth  finish  is  secured,  pat  lightly  with  a whisk 
broom  when  sufficiently  set  to  obtain  a uniform  surface. 

SPARKLING  FINISH — Make  10  per  cent,  solution  of  muriatic  acid 
in  water  and  scrub  with  stiff  brush  after  final  setting.  Thoroughly 
rinse  with  clean  water. 

SLAP-DASH  OR  ROLTGH  CAST — After  the  second  coat  has  been 
brought  to  a smooth,  even  surface  and  before  attaining  final  set, 
dash  on  the  third  coat  evenly  with  a wooden  paddle,  to  produce  a 
rough  surface  of  uniform  texture  when  viewed  from  a distance  of 
20  feet. 

PEBBLE-DASH — A pebble-dash  surface  can  be  secured  by  applying 
the  final  coat  fairly  wet  and  then  throwing  clean  pebbles  into  the 
fresh  plaster.  The  pebbles  should  be  about  1 2 inch  in  diameter  and 
should  run  uniformly.  Before  throwing  them  on  the  fresh  plaster 
the  pebbles  should  be  wet.  The  work  should  be  started  at  the  top 
and  the  pebbles  thrown  with  a sweeping  motion  such  as  is  used  in 
sowing  grain.  The  pebbles  must,  of  course,  be  distributed  uniformly 
over  the  surface,  and  must  be  thrown  against  the  fresh  soft  plaster 
with  sufficient  force  to  embed  them  securely. 

Care  must  be  taken  not  to  disturb  the  cement  after  it  has 
started  to  set,  and  in  order  to  avoid  this,  the  surface  must  be  covered 
with  the  pebbles  immediately  after  the  fresh  plaster  is  applied.  A 
plasterer  by  ordinarily  quick  work  can  cover  a surface  of  6 feet  square 
with  plaster  and  then  apply  the  pebbles. 

Aggregate 

To  produce  white  concrete  or  white  artificial  stone,  Medusa  Water- 
proofed White  Portland  Cement  should  be  carefully  mixed  with  white 

sand,  ground  white  marble,  quartz  or  white  limestone,  graded  from  fine

to  coarse,  and  passing  when  dry  a screen  having  inch  diameter  holes. 

Extra  precaution  should  be  taken  in  the  selection  of  white  sand, 
ground  marble,  etc.,  for  all  non-staining  work,  as  some  contain  a large 
percentage  of  organic  substances  which  discolor. 

Excellent  grades  of  white  marble  can  be  obtained  from  Conlin  X 
Co.,  Tuckahoe,  X . Y.  and  The  Hoosac  Company,  North  Adams,  Mass.; 
white  quartz  from  The  Enos  Adams  Company,  Bennington,  Yt.;  white 
granite  from  Monarch  Mining  Co.,  Jersey  City,  X . J. 


Every  keen  observer  interested  in  the  construction  of  fine  buildings 
or  monuments,  has  noticed  with  regret  the  discoloration  of  the  cement 
mortar  that  has  shown  vividly  in  the  joints,  and  in  many  cases  has  run 
down  over  the  face  of  the  stone  causing  a disfigurement  that  is  difficult, 
expensive  and  sometimes  impossible  to  eradicate.  For  years  architects 
sought  a cohesive  substance  that  would  give  positive  results,  a non- 
staining product  of  high  tensile  strength  and  absolutely  impervious,  and 
this  combination  ot  requirements  in  now  being  met  by  the  use  of  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement. 

The  following  should  be  specified: 

FOR  LAYING  AND  BACKING  LIMESTONE,  TERRA  COTTA  AND  FACE 
BRICK: 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
3 parts  fine  white  sand 

FOR  LAYING  AND  BACKING  GRANITE: 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
3 parts  Monarch  White  Granite  Sand  of  Jersey  City,  N.  J.,  or  Ottawa 
Silica  Sand  of  Ottawa  Silica  Co.,  Ottawa,  111. 

FOR  SETTING  MARBLE,  GLAZED  TILE,  ETC.: 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
1 part  ground  marble 


By  i he  use  of  2 parts  ground  white  marble  or  white  sand  and  1 part 
Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  effects  can  be  produced 
iu  concrete  blocks  which  give  them  the  appearance  of  solid  blocks  of  white 
marble.  This  mixture  should  be  used  in  the  face  of  the  blocks,  about  % 
of  an  inch  thick. 

It  is  important  that  blocks  be  kept  moist  for  a period  of  from  three 
to  four  weeks.

For  garden  furniture,  balustrades,  statuary,  etc.,  use  1 part  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  and  2 parts  ground  white  lime- 
stone, marble  or  white  sand.  Mix  dry  until  thoroughly  incorporated, 
add  water  and  mix  again  to  the  consistency  of  thick  cream. 

Keep  moist  for  til  least  a week,  allow  surface  to  dry,  and  wash  with 
dilute  muriatic  acid  (1  part  commercial  muriatic  acid,  4 parts  water) 
applying  this  with  a brush  having  no  metal.  Then  wash  with  clean 
water,  scrubbing  the  surface  with  a house  scrubbing  brush. 


Window  Sills,  Lintels,  Copings,  Watertables,  Etc. 

Cast  stone  has  passed  the  experimental  stage,  and  is  now  being 
used  by  many  of  the  leading  architects  throughout  the  country,  as  it  is 
possible  to  produce  a material  of  permanence  and  beauty.  To  avoid 
dampness  through  the  cast  stone,  which  is  liable  to  ruin  the  interior, 
specify  Medusa  W aterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  throughout  the 
mix,  or  in  the  face  from  one  to  two  inches  thick  as  the  case  may  require. 

□ 


Concrete  floors  in  banks,  offices  and  public  buildings  are  subjected 
to  more  or  less  severe  conditions.  Often  excessive  troweling,  to  make  them 
smooth  and  less  porous,  causes  cracks  and  crazing,  and  unless  specially 
treated  they  will  absorb  more  or  less  dirty  water  tracked  in  from  the  street 
or  from  mopping,  and  the  effect  that  the  architect  strived  to  obtain  is 
soon  lost.  In  such  cases  specify: 

□ 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 

2 parts  crushed  marble  (d"  to  40  mesh  sieve). 

It  a courser  grain  is  desired,  add  two  to  three  parts  of  a larger  stone. 
Mix  wet.  After  being  struck  off,  it  should  be  allowed  to  set  for  a sufficient 
length  of  time  to  become  firm  before  finishing  with  a steel  trowel  (excess- 
ive troweling  is  dangerous).  Allow  to  set  for  three  days,  keeping  wet, 
then  rub  with  stone  or  rubbing  machine  to  remove  trowel  marks  and 
cement  film.  Scrub  with  10  per  cent,  solution  muriatic  acid  and  thor- 
oughly rinse  with  clean  water.  Grout  into  the  surface  a mixture  of  1 
part  of  the  cement  and  1 part  of  fine  marble.  Allow  to  set  for  one  week  or 
more,  keeping  the  work  damp.  Then  rub  with  stone  or  rubbing  machine 
until  desired  surface  is  obtained.  Floors  can  be  brought  to  a polish  by 
this  method.

galvanized  metal  lath  ol  approved  make.  Cover  lath  and  exposed  tile  walls  with  two 
2)  coats  of  cement  plaster  with  lime  enough  to  make  free  working,  hirst  coat  to  be  a 
light  scratch  coat.  When  scratch  coat  is  dry,  apply  second  coat  of  cement  mortar  mixed 
one  (1)  part  cement  to  three  (3)  clean  sharp  sand,  to  be  well  troweled  and  left  straight 
and  plumb. 

After  second  coat  is  well  set  cover  same  with  rough  coat  composed  of  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Cement  and  clean  rock  dust  and  clean  small  crushed  stone,  no  stone 
to  exceed  G"  in  diameter.  Mix  same  to  a paste  and  splash  on  wall  with  a paddle,  to  be 
put  on  even  and  without  streaks.  Care  must  be  taken  in  mixing  so  as  to  give  an  even 
color  when  piaster  is  dry.  Corners  to  have  galvanized  metal  corner  beads. 

Yours  very  truly,

PAGE  EIGHTEEN 


The  world-wide  reputation  that  the  Woolworth  Building,  New  York 
City,  has  already  attained  is  sufficient  proof  of  its  structural  great- 
ness. Rising  789  feet  from  the  side  walk  level,  55  stories,  it  is  the 

highest  building  in  the  world. 
The  first  three  stories  are  of  Bed- 
ford limestone,  and  from  the  third 
story  to  the  roof  it  is  entirely  of 
Atlantic  terra  cotta. 

To  guard  against  the  discolor- 
ation of  the  joints,  which  is  caused 
from  the  smoke  and  dust,  and  the 
danger  of  the  face  of  this  beauti- 
ful structure  becoming  streaked 
and  disfigured,  the  architect 
thought  best  to  use  Medusa 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Ce- 
ment for  backing  and  setting  lime- 
stone and  terra  cotta,  thereby 
making  not  only  a non-staining 
cement  mortar  but  also  an  im- 
pervious one,  that  would  prove 
capable  of  withstanding  the  driv- 
ing storms  that  frequently  batter 
the  sides  of  all  tall  buildings. 

After  three  years  M e d u s a 
Waterproofed  White  Portland  Ce- 
ment mortar  has  met  every  ex- 
pectation of  the  architect  in  the 
preservation  of  the  limestone  and 
terra  cotta,  and  no  discoloration 
has  shown  in  the  joints. 

This  building  will  remain  a 
monument  to  the  architect,  Cass 
Gilbert,  a great  credit  to  the 
builders,  Thompson-Starrett  Co., 
and  is  a valued  addition  of  beauty 
to  a wonderful  city. 


Over  5000  barrels  of  Medusa 
Waterproofed  \\  hite  Portland  C e- 
ment  were  used  in  this  work.

Portland  Cement.  So  as  to  supply  the  demand  promptly,  we  have 
established  agencies  in  the  large  cities  of  Porto  Rico,  Cuba,  Trinidad,

Gentlemen: 

We  are  pleased  to  state  that  we  are  using'  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Cement 
on  all  contracts  where  same  is  specified,  and  when  other  material  is  specified  we  always 
try  to  have  it  changed  to  “Medusa.”  We  do  this  on  account  of  the  fact  that  we  have 
confidence  in  Medusa,  and  feel  satisfied  that  it  will  produce  a first  class  job. 

We  always  use  Medusa  White  in  all  of  our  ornamental  cast  stone  work  including 
bird  baths,  urns,  all  classes  of  garden  furniture,  and  also  building  stone. 

We  were  the  plastering  contractors  for  residences  of  Henry  Brockmann,  H.  J. 
Hass,  A.  F.  Dawson,  J.  Reed  Lane,  and  L.  M.  Marks.  Medusa  Waterproofed  White 
Portland  Cement  was  specified  and  used  in  all  of  this  work. 

Yerv  truly  yours, 

ULLRICH  & FOSTER.

Gentlemen: 

In  reply  to  your  inquiry  in  regard  to  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
will  say  that  I have  used  this  material  on  the  First  Christian  Church,  residences  of  Wm. 
Pohlmann,  Mr.  Walters,  Mr.  Hahn,  Dr.  Elliott,  Walter  Herrick,  2 houses  for  Mr.  Voss, 

5 houses  for  Herman  Yolquardsen,  and  numerous  other  jobs  in  this  city. 

I find  that  in  using  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Cement  I have  obtained  better 
results  than  with  any  other  similar  material,  and  prefer  to  use  this  cement  to  any  other 
material  of  this  kind  on  the  market,  as  I know  it  will  stand  up. 

Yours  very  truly, 

R.  G.  CRITES,  Plastering  Contractor.

Sandusky  Portland  Cement  Co.,  Tipton,  Ind.,  Oct.  1,  1915. 

Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Gentlemen : 

In  reply  to  your  letter  of  the  27th  ult. , beg  to  advise  that  I used  Medusa  Water- 
proofed W hite  Portland  Cement  in  construction  of  a residence  for  myself.  The  house  is 
built  of  4"  x 8"  x 16"  cement  blocks  faced  with  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland 
Cement  and  ground  granite  and  sparkles  as  if  studded  with  diamonds,  and  blocks  are  as 
dry  as  they  can  possibly  be. 

Basement  under  entire  house  is  concrete  to  grade  line,  and  was  made  waterproof  by 
the  use  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  Gray  Portland  Cement.  The  work  was  completed  one 
year  ago  and  there  has  never  been  a time  I could  not  strike  a match  anywhere  on  my 
basement  walls. 

W^ords  cannot  express  my  great  appreciation  of  the  results  secured  by  the  use  of 
Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  and  1 unhesitatingly  recommend  it 
whenever  possible.  Too  much  cannot  be  said  of  the  beautiful  effect  that  can  be  obtained 
with  this  material.  Yours  respectfully, 

TIPTON  CEMENT  WORKS,

West  Liberty,  Iowa,  March  20,  1915. 

Sandusky  Portland  Cement  Co., 

Cleveland.  Ohio. 

Gentlemen : 

We  have  sold  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  for  three  years  with 
the  best  of  results.  This  has  been  used  in  pebble-dash  and  plain  surface  finish,  and  when 
white  sand  is  used  the  effect  is  very  pleasing.  The  call  for  this  cement  is  growing  very 
fast  and  we  predict  it  is  the  coming  material  and  will  replace  house  siding  in  all  modern 
houses.  We  have  also  sold  your  Medusa  Waterproofed  Gray  Portland  Cement  for  silos, 
and  find  it  makes  them  waterproof  and  preserves  silage. 

We  can  recommend  your  Waterproofed  Cement  for  all  purposes  where  waterproof- 
ing is  desirable.  Respectfully  yours, 

DITMARS,  KERR  & CO.

Gentlemen: 

Replying  to  your  letter  of  September  28th,  having  for  subject  the  Medusa  Water- 
proofed White  Portland  Cement  used  in  the  construction  of  the  residence  for  Mr.  Charles 
Kirchhoff,  the  writer  wishes  to  state  that  the  waterproofing  is  up  to  now  perfect,  and 
certainly  beyond  expectations,  and  as  to  color,  it  has  turned  out  beautifully,  as  the  sand 
which  was  used  was  a bank  sand,  giving  it  a very  tender  cream  tint. 

The  construction  of  the  superstructure  of  the  residence  is  a balloon  frame,  using 
2"  x 6"  studding,  sheathed  on  the  outside,  upon  the  sheathing  two  thicknesses  of  water- 
proof paper  and  upon  this  a 4"  hollow  tile  split  and  nailed  to  the  sheathing,  then  plastered 
with  cement  mortar  using  the  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Cement,  showing  no  cracks 
of  any  kind,  blisters  or  any  defects.  In  other  words — up  to  now  it  is  a perfect  piece  of 
work. 

Yours  very  truly, 

CHAS.  KIRCHHOFF, 

of  Kirchhoff  & Rose,  Architects.

Gentlemen: 

I am  pleased  to  state  that  your  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
was  used  throughout  the  entire  building  of  Christian  Science  Church,  Davenport,  Iowa, 
for  the  rough  cast  plastering  for  outside,  and  proved  to  be  very  satisfactory  both  to  the 
workmen  who  mixed  it  and  more  so  to  the  owners  who  are  well  pleased  with  the  results. 

Yours  respectfully, 

MARTIN  E.  NELSON,  Gen’l.  Contractor.

Residence  of  R.  G.  Herrmann,  Wapakoneta,  Ohio. 


Note  from  the  following  testimonial  the  low  cost  of  a finish  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement, 
its  excellent  storage  qualities,  pure  white  color,  and  the  satisfactory  results. 


Sandusky  Portland  Cement  Co.,  Wapakoneta,  Ohio,  Sept.  29,  1915. 

Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Gentlemen : 

On  May  5,  1913,  I bought  10  barrels  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland 
Cement  from  you,  but  did  not  have  occasion  to  use  any  until  this  Fall.  Some  of  it  caked 
a little,  but  readily  pulverized  when  sacks  were  dropped  on  the  floor.  In  the  construc- 
tion of  my  residence  the  weather  boards  were  painted  well,  covered  with  expanded  steel 
lath,  and  stuccoed  as  follows: 

1st  coat — 1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  and  4 parts  Tuckahoe  white  marble. 

2nd  coat — 1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  and  2 parts  Tuckahoe  white  marble. 

3rd  coat — Same  proportions  as  second  coat. 

The  last  coat  was  a “slap-dash”  and  the  three  coats  are  one  inch  thick.  White 
paint  was  used  on  the  borders  (frame  work)  but  the  stucco  is  much  whiter,  in  fact  it  makes 
the  paint  look  slightly  drab. 

Although  I have  had  previous  experience  in  cement  work,  this  is  the  first  job  of 
stuccoing  I ever  tackled.  The  men  who  did  the  work  were  inexperienced  also,  but  had 
some  previous  experience  at  plastering,  which  helped.  1 gained  some  valuable  knowledge 
from  your  Medusa  Review  which  always  contains  valuable  pointers. 

Only  6%  barrels  of  cement  were  required  for  the  entire  residence.  The  cost  of  labor, 
putting  on  the  lath  and  stucco,  two  men  at  S2.00  per  day  each,  was  $42.80.  As  it  took 
only  200  square  yards  of  lath  to  cover  the  building,  you  can  readily  see  that  the  total 
cost  was  very  reasonable,  in  fact  only  21  cents  per  square  yard  for  putting  on  the  lath 
and  three  coats  of  stucco. 

The  work  was  thoroughly  sprinkled,  every  day,  morning  and  night,  for  a week. 
It  is  as  hard  as  a rock,  no  cracks  have  appeared,  and  I am  well  pleased  with  results. 

After  all  the  “ifs,”  "buts,”  “ands,”  and  “whys,”  I predict  that  there  will  be  more 
of  this  work  done  in  this  community,  for  within  the  past  week  there  have  been  at  least 
200  property  owners  out  to  look  at  the  place  and  ask  questions.  I will  be  glad  to  answer 
inquiries  at  any  time,  and  in  the  meantime  the  house  still  stands  and  looks  better  every 
day  in  spite  of  the  croakers  and  evil  prognosticators. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 

R.  G.  HERRMANN.

MEDUSA  WATERPROOFED  WHITE  PORTLAND  CEMENT 


“Rhodes-On-The-Pawtuxet,”  Providence,  Rhode  Island 

One  of  the  largest  and  finest  public  dance  halls  in  New  England 


This  building  is  considered  the  finest  and  most  beautiful  ever  dedicated  to  the 
dance  in  New  England.  The  new  structure  standing  on  the  river  at  Pawtuxet,  and  com- 
bining a public  ball  room  of  two  stories  with  a cement  basement  equipped  as  a public 
canoe  house  and  as  quarters  for  the  Swastika  Canoe  Club,  is  a heavily  beamed  building 
of  modern  style,  220'  x 190',  2 stories  in  height,  with  an  exterior  of  cement  stucco  of 
Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  and  Conlin  & Co.,  Tuckahoe,  N.  V. 
marble. 

The  architects  were  John  F.  O'Malley  and  Henry  F.  Lewis.  It  is  managed  by  the 
Rhodes  Brothers  Corporation  who  are  to  be  commended  upon  the  way  in  which  this 
famous  place  of  amusement  has  always  been  conducted. 

The  General  Plastering  Co.  of  Providence  was  awarded  the  plastering  contract, 
and  used  in  the  finish  coat: 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
1 part  Conlin  & Co.  20  to  30  Tuckahoe,  N.  V.  marble 
1 part  Conlin  & Co.  8 to  20  Tuckahoe,  N.  V.  marble 
10%  in  weight  of  cement  of  hydrated  lime. 

After  thorough  mixing,  water  was  added  slowly  until  the  proper  consistency  was 
attained,  then  applied  with  a steel  trowel,  stippling  with  a whisk  broom  when  sufficiently 
set.  The  material  was  accepted  after  a sample  containing  the  above  mix,  submitted  by 
our  representative,  had  been  thrown  into  a mud  puddle  on  the  site  and  allowed  to  remain 
there  several  hours  before  an  attempt  was  made  to  scrub  off  the  grime.  The  sample  when 
cleaned  showed  no  sign  of  discoloration  which  proved  beyond  a doubt  the  value  of  Me- 
dusa Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  for  stucco,  and  showed  the  extreme  caution 
used  by  the  owners  in  selecting  all  material  for  the  building. 

A plaster  consisting  of: 

1 part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 
1 part  20  to  30  marble 
10%  hydrated  lime 

was  used  as  a finish  coat  over  the  interior  concrete  walls  of  the  basement  which  form 
retiring  rooms  for  ladies  and  gentlemen,  toilets  and  smoking  room. 

Material  was  furnished  by  James  C.  Goff  Co.  Medusa  products  are  also  sold  by 
M anchester  & Hudson  Co.  and  H.  R.  Horton  Co.,  all  of  Providence,  Rhode  Island.

Cemetery  Lot  Fence  of  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement 


Sandusky  Portland  Cement  Co.,  La  Porte  City,  Iowa,  March  23,  1915. 

Cleveland,  Ohio. 

Gentlemen: 

In  regard  to  your  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement,  will  say  that  I 
now  use  it  exclusively  in  the  manufacture  of  cemetery  lot  fences,  individual  grave  frames, 
flower  urns,  porch  pillars,  in  fact  I use  it  wherever  I use  White  Cement,  as  it  is  the  only 
cement  I have  found  that  does  not  stain  or  become  darker  with  age,  but  seems  to  get 
whiter. 

The  cemetery  lot  fence  as  shown  on  photo  herewith  was  pronounced  by  experts 
to  be  the  finest  piece  of  work  of  its  kind  the)-  had  ever  seen. 

I highly  recommend  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Cement  to  anyone  who 
wants  a real  white,  impervious  finish.  Yours  truly, 

LA  PORTE  CITY  CEMENT  WORKS. 

J.  W.  Stewart,  Prop. 


Beautifying  the  Garden 


Artificial  stone  sun-dials,  bird  baths, 
flower  vases,  Italian  fountains,  urns, 
pergolas,  etc.,  are  superior  to  iron  as  they 
require  no  paint,  will  withstand  the  test 
of  all  weather,  and  in  the  case  of  vases 
artificial  stone  does  not  heat  and  wither 
the  flowers.  At  the  same  time  its  soft 
color  blends  wonderfully  with  the  green 
of  the  grass  and  foliage. 

Vase  illustrated  herewith  was  made 
by  the  Architectural  Decorating  Co., 
Chicago,  111.,  of  1 part  Medusa  Water- 
proofed White  Portland  Cement  and  3 
parts  white  silica  sand,  in  gelatin  molds. 
Decorations  of  this  character  should  be  of 
such  material  that  they  will  always  retain 
their  whiteness  and  artistic  value,  forwhich 
Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Ce- 
ment is  noted.

I have  used  stucco  finish  on  the  exterior  of  many  residences  and  other  buildings 
coming  under  my  supervision  with  more  or  less  satisfactory  results,  but  until  using 
Medusa  White  Cement  had  difficulty  in  getting  the  light  color  often  so  desirable  by 
owners  and  architects. 

I also  found  that  the  waterproofed  brand  of  this  cement  was  superior  and  had 
lasting  qualities  which  make  it  especially  desirable  for  spattered  finish  as  it  prevents 
the  cracking  and  disintegration  caused  by  absorption  of  dampness  and  the  staining 
which  results  therefrom. 

I specified  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Cement  for  my  own  residence  because  1 
believe  it  will  last  and  retain  its  new  appearance  for  a long  period. 

Yours  very  truly,  HUGH  W.  GUTHRIE,

These  vases  are  manufactured  by  Eastman  Plastic  Relief  Co.,  St. 
Louis,  and  are  35  inches  in  diameter  and  21 1 o inches  high,  with  four  12 
inch  cement  legs.  One  part  Medusa  Waterproofed  White  Portland  Ce- 
ment to  two  parts  crushed  white  marble  constitutes  the  mix,  and  castings

of  vases,  fountains,  flower  boxes,  seats,  pedestals,  sun  dials,  urns,  and
